Remember that ovens are in Fahrenheit here not Celsius, so maybe thats why? That is unless you're lucky enough to have a digital one which you can switch over. I did that at my last Apartment, the Girlfriend won't let me switch over the one at our new place though

Re: Is it just me or.....?
Ok, so we've been in London Ontario for 2 months and we're really enjoying it
But I can't help but notice that EVERYTHING takes longer in Canada, lol.
I know that if your running round doing errands that takes longer because you have to drive everywhere, everywhere is further apart and you end up chatting to people more along your way. Shopping takes longer because the supermarkets are enormous.
All that I understand but...potatoes(!?)...they seem to take waaaaay longer to roast, boil and bake here. And eggs - they seem to take a few more minutes to boil. My kettle - that too seems to take longer than in the UK. Has anyone else noticed this or am I going a bit nuts?
